Mixed Secondary Church of England
0.8/10 Well below average

44th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.8/10 against 725 of them, against 0.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 23.5 · 7 46% 0.33
Progress 8 2023/24 -0.67 · 9 38% 0.35
Attainment 8 2024/25 37.1 · 11 15% 0.16

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 23.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.67 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.8 out of 10 either way).

Getting in. The school has 1004 pupils in a capacity of 900, meaning it is over capacity by 104. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 104 pupils? What support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 score is below 0? How does the school address the gap between its Attainment 8 score and the national median?
